i'm assuming that you don't know so tell me if i'm not correct...there are currently around 270 detainees in guantánamo bay...nine, including sami al-hajj, a cameraman with al jazeera television, were released from guantánamo on 1 may...muhammad rahim al-afghani, was transferred from secret cia custody to guantánamo in march...charges were sworn against seven so-called "high value" detainees, six of whom had been victims of enforced disappearance and possible torture in the cia secret detention program, and the seventh of whom was subjected to torture and other ill-treatment in guantánamo under the donald rumsfeld-authorized "special interrogation plan"...pre-trial military commissions continued against a number of the other eight guantánamo detainees charged for trial, including canadian national omar khadr (aged 15 when taken into custody) and mohammed jawad (16 or 17)...amnesty international continued to attend military commission hearings at guantánamo...
in february, the director of the cia admitted that 'waterboarding' had been used in 2002 and 2003 against three detainees held in secret cia custody...the administration wrongly claims that its use was lawful, and has refused to rule out use in the future if "circumstances" require it...the attorney general refused to open a criminal investigation on the grounds that the technique had been approved by justice department lawyers, among others...
peace out <3
